-----------------------------------

Are we ready to approve that text as modified and close this issue? 

 No.  A few more edits are needed, primarily for cleanup. With these changes, Rex
reviewed and liked the wording. We'll plan to approve and close this issue
next time, once the edited version of the specification is posted.)

> How to use the default list mechanism was not indicated in the DOM diagram, nor described generally, nor easily discerned from the Data Dictionary elements.  I was wondering if the default list element is (a) an interposed level around the standard list element, (b) a replacement for the standard list element, or merely (c) an example of a standard list element.  It was only by looking at the example schema that I could see that the general pattern is that of (a):
> <someElement>
>   <ct:ValueListURL>myUNI</ctValueListURL>
>   <ct:Value>aValue</ct:Value>
> </someElement>
> Or
> <someElement>
>   <someElementDefault>
>     <ct:valueListURL>someElement'sDefaultUNI</ctValueListURL>
>     <ct:Value>aValueFromDefaults</ct:Value>
>   </someElementDefault>
> </someElement>
> The descriptions of the defaulting mechanism is not handled in a uniform manner.  So for example, DistributionStatus is a single entry in the Data Dictionary, whereas DistributionKind also has DistributionKindDefault and DistributionKindValueList defined.  I could be wrong, but I don't think you're trying to make a distinction here.
